Zawinul @ His Best Last Years29 Dec. 2012

2 Bad this music is not on CD. Its a fantaztick best of last years. I got it in spot-ify and it's great. Santana? What Santana? Santana is lost at the moment in Vegas Land. ESC needs to be released on Cd. Just got Absolute Emsemble Zawinul and it's the ultimate Zawinul, meaning rhythms, voices as instrument, beats, more beats, more voices, all into a palate of keyboard sounds of poetry and painting as music. That is Esc Years. His inocent last days at his best, the tribute of himself by himself to a long and productive musical life. Just wonderful. After all, Places and Faces is the ultimate Zawinul... Master of world sounds...

For those looking for music like Weather Report look elsewhere. This is tepid Latin Jazz...sort of like Santana Lite. Do yourself a favor and buy Santana's crap Freedom album instead.
